Navigating the planning system for you

We understand the importance of establishing and understanding the planning risks and opportunities facing your project from the outset.  Drawing on our extensive experience, we can advise on development prospects and approaches to maximise the potential for securing planning permission.    

With an in-depth knowledge of planning policy, we can advise on opportunities to promote sites through the plan-making process aimed at securing flexible site-specific allocations and positively worded policies to support development proposals.     

We are adept at preparing and managing the planning application process, from pre-application discussions through to submission and determination.  We work proactively with the professional team to ensure high-quality and robust submissions, providing direction at every stage in order to maximise the chances of a successful outcome. 

We have extensive experience of advising on appeal strategies, preparing and collating appeal submissions and providing planning expert witness evidence at hearings and inquiries.  We have been successful at a number of high-profile appeals, call-in inquiries and can also advise on judicial reviews.

Once your permission is place, we can assist at the delivery stage including compliance with conditions and legal agreements.   We can also advise on amendments to conditions to facilitate delivery or in seeking to optimise your consent.
